It seems that the seventh generation of console wars has been lost out by SONY as they are still struggling with their newest console, PS3. And with the resignation of Ken Kutaragi, the mastermind who created the playstation, it fuels the chances of Sony losing this console war. Till now, wii has outcasted Sony in every region and Sony is still struggling with technical faults, glitches surrounding the tech masterpiece. Moreover, most of ps2 game dvds are not compatible with the ps3 which has raised several questions in the media. To confirm it, here's an article from softpedia.com -
What, you thought that the PS3 still had a shot at winning the console war? If you did, you're sadly mistaking
because it's pretty much over for the next-gen console from Sony, as CNN takes somewhat of a final look over the PS3 console and its status today:
"...the eagerly-anticipated PlayStation 3 has already lost this round of the console wars to its Japanese rival, Nintendo's Wii (See "Why Wii Won," May). Since late last year, when both consoles were released, the Wii has consistently outsold the PS3 in every major market.
Sony's PS3 is packed with costly gee-whiz features that turned out to be a drawback to consumers faced with choices."
As for Nintendo's Wii, the small, cheap and fun to play console, by the passing of each day it looks more and more like Drako Malfoy in Harry Potter. You know, everything's coming together, hitting all the right spots, can't go wrong..., evil laughter while Sony's PS3 slips into the mud.
"Nintendo's Wii simple, elegant design and low price are two reasons it's consistently outselling the PS3.For Nintendo, the number 3 company in the videogames business, it's a David-vs.-Goliath turnaround. For Kutaragi's team, who ruled the roost of this industry for 12 years, it's a shameful final defeat."
What worse way to step down from the position of Chairman and chief executive officer of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI), than when a console fails to sell? None. It's just a given, no one can do anything about it now.
